The Grove switched to Fri-Sat because neither Port or Lincoln wanted to step up and take the Saturday night show after Hagerstown stopped hosting it a few years ago. The Thursday night crowds had also been dwindling so it was silly to keep running them and let the WOO sit idle(or head out of state) on a Saturday. I agree though, it would be great to see Lincoln or Port having a Saturday night WOO show but the Grove isn't gonna give it up now. At least Lincoln now has a mid-week WOO show. You would think a any premier 410 sprint car track in the country would want a WOO date on the schedule, espescially in central PA with the posse/woo rivalry. It also brings national exposure to the track.

I hope Schatz bought Swindell an ice cold beer Saturday night. Donny ran a clean race mean to take nothing from his win, But... if Swindell had been a better charactor the outcome I feel would have been a little different. Can you imagine Sammy's interview if it had been him running for the lead and the last car was holding him!!! WOw

LOL!!!! Yep, it was the lapped car. Not the two cars who had the lead and couldn't hold it. lol

If you look at the video, I think it's Swindell who costs Schatz the lead early in the race when he passed Dewease on the backstretch. Sammy's been a nuisance all week, cost Sweet a victory at the Eldora prelim and almost cost him the Royal victory.
